Game 113 lineups: Nats at Giants

Game 113 lineups: Nats at Giants
SAN FRANCISCO - The Nationals have a bit of different look going on with tonight's lineup. With rookie left-hander Conner Menez starting for the Giants, Davey Martinez has bumped Matt Adams all the way down to the No. 7 spot, behind Kurt Suzuki and Brian Dozier. And he's giving Gerardo Parra a start in right field instead of Adam Eaton, and keeping Parra in the No. 2 spot. Some of this is byproduct of the makeup of the Nationals bench right now, with two key right-handed hitters injured (Ryan...

Game 112 lineups: Nats at Giants
SAN FRANCISCO - It's a beautiful afternoon along McCovey Cove, but don't kid yourself. It's going to be downright chilly tonight by the time the Nationals and Giants get their series opener underway. After the 110-degree heat of Arizona over the weekend, the upper 50s in the forecast later tonight are going to be quite a shock to the system. The Nats would love to get hot the next few days, no matter the temperature. They've dropped three straight series and really need to get themselves...

Game 111 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks
PHOENIX - Hello one more time from Chase Field, where the Nationals and Diamondbacks wrap up their series this afternoon, each seeking to walk away having won two of three. And each sends a guy to the mound with a connection to the opposing team. Patrick Corbin makes his return to the desert, facing the organization that developed him into an All-Star, then watched him leave for Washington and $140 million. Corbin has enjoyed catching up with friends the last few days, but he's now all...

Game 110 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks

Game 110 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks
PHOENIX - Fresh off Friday night's impressive pitching effort in a 3-0, one-hit shutout of the Diamondbacks, the Nationals now try to make it two in a row while Stephen Strasburg tries to make it eight in a row. That would be eight wins in a row for Strasburg, the newly minted National League Picher of the Month for July, who has emerged with a W in each of his last seven starts. His last loss came way back on June 15. That actually remains the last time any of the Nats' top four starters...

Game 109 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks
PHOENIX - Hello from The Valley of the Sun, where it's a dry 109 degrees outside but thankfully much cooler inside Chase Field, where the Nationals and Diamondbacks open a three-game series tonight. The Nats have three new relievers available out of their bullpen in Hunter Strickland, Daniel Hudson and Roenis Elías. We'll find out soon enough how Davey Martinez intends to use them. Before they can get to any of those relievers, of course, Joe Ross takes the ball for only his second major...

Game 107 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Game 107 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
Why was Monday night's win so important for the Nationals? Because it allowed them to take early control of this three-game series with the Braves, who are now the ones facing some pressure to bounce back and not let their lead in the division dwindle to 3 1/2 games. The Nationals still have plenty of work to do to take this series, and they face a stiff challenge tonight with Erick Fedde - not Max Scherzer - getting the start. Fedde hasn't faced Atlanta yet this season, but he's quietly put...

Game 105 lineups: Nats vs. Dodgers
The Nationals haven't been in this position for a while, needing to win a series finale to avoid a sweep. It was an all-too-common scenario back in April and May, but they've usually found themselves in the polar opposite situation since. But after dropping their first two games to the Dodgers this weekend - not to mention after dropping Thursday's finale against the Rockies as well - they really need a win this afternoon. Stephen Strasburg's on the mound, and that's a good thing for the...

Game 103 lineups: Nats vs. Dodgers
And now begins the toughest portion of the Nationals' schedule. They've been able to feast on some struggling teams (Marlins, Tigers, Royals, Orioles, Rockies) in recent weeks, but now the Nats have back-to-back series against the National League's top two teams to date this season: the Dodgers and Braves. Next week's series vs. Atlanta means more in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn't mean the Nationals can gloss over this weekend set with the 30-games-over-.500 Dodgers, who have...

Game 102 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies

Game 102 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies
The last time Max Scherzer was on the mound for the Nationals, he was wearing an Expos uniform. And he was on fire. With seven scoreless innings of 11-strikeout ball against the Royals, Scherzer had capped off a brilliant seven-start stretch that included a 7-0 record, 0.87 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 79-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Scherzer, of course, hasn't pitched since then because of a back injury, finally diagnosed as an inflamed bursa sac underneath his right shoulder blade. He's back at last...

Orioles and Diamondbacks lineups

Orioles and Diamondbacks lineups
PHOENIX - Renato Núñez is sticking at third base this afternoon after homering again last night in a 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Rio Ruiz stays on the bench despite another opposing right-handed pitcher. Manager Brandon Hyde is staying with the hot hand. Anthony Santander is in center field, Pedro Severino is catching a day game following a night game and Richie Martin is playing shortstop. Chris Davis is at first base after striking out four times last night. For the Orioles Jonathan...

Game 100 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies
After a thrilling Tuesday night at the ballpark - thrilling, at least, once Trea Turner completed his second career cycle in the bottom of the seventh - the Nationals are right back at the park this morning for what promises to be a long day and night of baseball. Monday's rainout - did it ever actually rain during the evening hours? - forced them to schedule a day-night doubleheader today. The good news: The Nats were able to avoid burning up their bullpen during an 11-1 win over the Rockies....

Game 99 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies
And we're back. The Nationals got an unexpected (but probably needed) night off with Monday's postponement (rain optional) so now they're rested and refreshed for tonight's delayed start of a four-game series with the Rockies. They better have caught up on their sleep, though, because they've now got to play four games in the span of about 51 hours. It begins tonight with Stephen Strasburg (tonight's originally scheduled starter for the Nationals) against Peter Lambert (Monday's...

Game 99 lineups: Nats vs. Rockies (game postponed)
The Nationals wanted to win at least three of four in Atlanta this weekend. But they instead hold steady at 6 1/2 games back in the National League East after splitting four games, falling 7-1 in Sunday night's series finale at SunTrust Park. Now the Nats return home for 10 games through July 31, beginning with four games against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers and Braves also visit D.C. this week and next. The Rockies are in a mile-high tailspin, losers of seven out of their first nine...

Game 98 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 98 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals have a chance to take three of four from the Braves with a win in tonight's series finale. They would've loved to have Max Scherzer on the mound for this one, as originally hoped, but that won't happen. They planned to have Austin Voth on the mound, but that won't happen either. The right-hander has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis. So it's Plan C, and that's Joe Ross. It's been a weird season for Ross, to say the least. He's...

Game 97 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals are attempting to pick themselves up off the mat after Friday night's crushing loss. But in order to do that, they'll need to take down the Braves' ace tonight. Mike Soroka, the 21-year-old owner of a 10-1 record and 2.24 ERA, takes the mound at SunTrust Park. He hasn't take a loss since April 18 against the Diamondbacks. The Nats got a brief look at the right-hander last month in D.C., but you'll remember he had to depart after only two innings when he was hit by a...

ATLANTA - The Nationals couldn't have asked for a better start to this big weekend series. Now they'll look to keep it rolling tonight and perhaps move to within three games in the loss column of the Braves. They'll do so with a historically notable battery. Patrick Corbin and Yan Gomes are each celebrating their birthdays today (Gomes is 32, Corbin is 30). And they're paired up, which makes this only the second time in major league history that a starting pitcher and catcher have shared...

Game 95 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - No team in baseball has a better winning percentage since May 25 than the Nationals: .690. The next-best winning percentage after that: .659, by the Braves. And so the Nats, in spite of their torrid pace for nearly two months, have barely gained any ground on the National League East leaders, who enter play today 6 1/2 games up (only five in the loss column). There are, however, 14 head-to-head games still on the schedule between these teams. A whopping 21 percent of the Nationals'...

Game 94 lineups: Nats at Orioles
BALTIMORE - The Nationals got a strong start from an inexperienced right-hander last night, helping set the stage for a win over the Orioles. They'll hope for another tonight, and a two-game sweep at scorching hot and humid Camden Yards, where the heat index as I type this is a mere 110. Erick Fedde takes the mound for his first big league start since June 20, when he lasted only 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies, having thrown a whopping 84 pitches. Like Austin Voth last night, he's trying...

BALTIMORE - There have been times over the years when the Battle of the Beltways brought out a lot of excitement in both towns. It might be a slightly different situation this year, especially over the next two nights, as the worst-in-baseball Orioles host the resurgent Nationals for a quick, two-game interleague series. The Nats come to Camden Yards in the middle of a critical road trip that began in Philadelphia and wraps up in Atlanta. They can't overlook these next two nights, though,...

PHILADELPHIA - Following the All-Star break, the Nationals could not have asked for a better start to the second part of their season. Stephen Strasburg was solid and Victor Robles contributed a big hit early as the Nats shut out the Phillies 4-0 in the opener of a key National League East series. It was the second time this season the Nats have shut out Philadelphia and is their seventh shutout of the season. The Nats lead the season series 8-4 and have won four straight games against their...
